BSL altered his driver's license.
"The Sheriff's Office said this [warrant for BSL's arrest] pertains to Lavergne allegedly destroying his driver's license in order to conceal that he was a registered sex offender."

According to the police report, Lavergne stated that, around 3:00 p.m. on May 19, he was driving in an unfamiliar area and his GPS was not working. He said he pulled into a gas station to get directions and was attacked by an unidentified man wearing a football jersey and black hat covering most of his face. Lavergne said the man stole his wallet. He said he then drove around until he found a hospital.

Lavergne went to the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office on May 28, three days after police released photographs of a Chevrolet Z71 pickup seen in surveillance video that also captured images of Shunick around the time she disappeared. Police say believe the pickup in the vido belongs to Lavergne.

In an interview with Scott Brazda on Friday’s edition of “The Afternoon Drive Home,” Cpl. Paul Mouton, a Lafayette Police Department spokesperson, revealed Lavergne was being monitored very closely. They knew Lavergne worked offshore, Mouton said, and they had an idea of what routes he would normally drive.

A news release Wednesday said investigators have spoken with drivers and occupants of two of the three vehicles shown on the video showing 21-year-old Michaela "Mickey" Shunick riding her bicycle. Cpl. Paul Mouton says nobody in a car or a pickup truck with a bed cover had information about or connection to the case

10:19-10:51 p.m. -- JP146 arrives at Ochsner. Security personnel tell him NOPD has just finished up with BSL. During questioning, BSL tells JP146 that NOPD interviewed him for two hours. That puts NOPD at Ochsner at approximately 8:15-8:30. BSL would have arrived at Ochsner no later than about 8:00 p.m., possibly earlier.

There is at least a three hour discrepancy between the JPSO incident report and what the media continues to report, which places BSL's arrival at the hospital at 11 p.m.

PI Received 2 Good Tips

John Abdella said Thursday he received a tip from a "good source" with descriptions of two people involved in Lafayette incidents similar to the Shunick case. The tip reinforces Abdella's sense that two people were involved in the University of Louisiana at Lafayette student's disappearance

Police say Lavergne burned the white pickup truck allegedly used in commission of the crime; the same truck that was captured by a City Hall camera near St. Landry Street and University Avenue about the time Shunick was also photographed on her bike.

Mouton says the gold hand grips were found near the bicycle "submerged in the water right off the bank into the Atchafalya."

On or about July 11, 2012, while incarcerated at the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center, BSL was booked on an outstanding warrant for altering his drivers license.

"Lavergne went to the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office on May 28, three days after police released photographs of a Chevrolet Z71 pickup seen in surveillance video that also captured images of Shunick around the time she disappeared. Police say believe the pickup in the vido belongs to Lavergne.

Three days after he checked in with the Sheriff's Office, Lavergne reported his truck stolen in Montgomery County, Texas. Police say he burned the vehicle in San Jacinto, Texas.

Lavergne replaced the truck June 4 when he bought a new, white Chevrolet Z71 pickup from Don's Wholesale on Johnston Street in Lafayette."

Tom Shunick recalls installing the grips, saying he "fought and greased" the gold grips but could not get them all the way on the handlebars. Mickey Shunick purchased another set, but try as they might, Tom Shunick and his son, Zack Shunick, could not remove the first set of grips.
